Inspired by the W.B. Yeats poem that tempts a child from home to the waters and the wild, "The Stolen Child" is a modern fairy tale narrated by the child Henry Day and his double.""On a summer night, Henry Day runs away from home and hides in a hollow tree. There he is taken by the changelings--an unaging tribe of wild children who live in darkness and in secret. They spirit him away, name him Aniday, and make him one of their own. Stuck forever as a child, Aniday grows in spirit, struggling to remember the life and family he left behind. He also seeks to understand and fit in this shadow land, as modern life encroaches upon both myth and nature. In his place, the changelings leave a double, a boy who steals Henry's life in the world. This new Henry Day must adjust to a modern culture while hiding his true identity from the Day family. But he can't hide his extraordinary talent for the piano (a skill the true Henry never displayed), and his dazzling performances prompt his father to suspect that the son he has raised is an imposter. As he ages the new Henry Day becomes haunted by vague but persistent memories of life in another time and place, of a German piano teacher and his prodigy. Of a time when he, too, had been a stolen child. Both Henry and Aniday obsessively search for who they once were before they changed places in the world. "The Stolen Child" is a classic tale of leaving childhood and the search for identity. With just the right mix of fantasy and realism, Keith Donohue has created a bedtime story for adults and a literary fable of remarkable depth and strange delights.

小时候,总听大人告诫:不要去水边玩,那里有水鬼。水鬼是淹死的人变的,等你一到水边,就被它拉下去顶替它,然后水鬼就又能做回人了。 这个充斥着自私、卑鄙的阴暗心理的传说让我一直不敢对湖沼江河有任何亲近的感觉和举动。 不同地域和国家的文化也自会有它的相似性。在爱尔...
評分真我 本我 ——《失窃的孩子》读后 走吧,人间的孩子 / 与一个精灵手拉手 / 走向荒野和河流 / 这个世界哭声太多了,你不懂 《失窃的孩子》源自济慈的这首诗,更早的起源则是北欧神话中关于丛林中的精灵会偷偷换走人间孩子的传说。亨利.戴就是这样一个被换生灵带走的孩子,七岁...
評分 評分童年,之于一个人,是怎样的一段时光? 我想,那是用来尽情犯错的,因为会有很长的路让你去弥补改正,而且谁会谴责一个孩子的淘气。 Steal Or Escape ? 这只是客观与主观的变换,既然你选择对现实不满,毅然逃离,那不妨就用一世纪的光阴来当个筹码。 时间不会为一个你逗留,...
評分“别管叫我妖精。我们再也不喜欢被人叫做妖精了。”从第一句话开始,小说就把读者带入了奇境。时间遽然倒流,那时候世界仍然古老,仍然有人相信童话和传说,没有电视天线,没有摩天大楼,镇子外面,森林幽深静谧,无人涉足其中,那里隐藏着仙女和精灵。 小说的主角是两个小孩...
